Hey guys,

I thought of this yesturday out of the blue. I thought of the idea of crossing a T Valve with a Coaxial. This is what I came up with:

This should explain all.

- The nipple that joins the Elbow to the Tee will be plugged up completely with epoxy. This will greatly reduce the size of the of the pilot aposed to capping the end of the grip after the Elbow.

- The epoxy plugged nipple will be the base for a long bolt to be ankered to. This will extend through the Tee, to the mouth of the Chamber Pipe to act like a stop for the piston so it doesn't shoot out into the Tee. A small spring or piece of rubber will be placed in the end of the bolt to absorb the force of the piston being shot back.

- The piston itself will be placed in the Chamber pipe like a convential Coax.

- The small Tee offers a way to both fill the chamber with the mounted Shock Pump and to vent the pilot with a trigger like ball valve.

Any questions and criticism will be greatly appreciated.

(I know I posted this pic in my other thread on my bb rifle but I wanted to explain it properly which resulted in this)

People have done this before (look at an older version of the EVO4 shotgun by Demon), but I don't think anyone has made such an innovative version as this one. Nice work!

Ah thanks alot for that dude. I had no idea it had been done before. I have looked and looked but I guess I hadn't looked hard enough. Credit to Demon in that case.

Cheers again,

Mitch.

I hate it when you "invent" something and its already been done. Your idea looks great though, good luck with it.

Have a browse through google patent search, very few ideas are actually new.
